Samsung officially debuts Galaxy S10 smartphone after weeks of rumors, leaks

It’s Samsung’s big launch event today, and the company has made the thoroughly leaked Galaxy S10 official. The company announced the S10 and S10 Plus smartphones on stage today, after it unveiled the impressive and incredibly expensive Galaxy Fold foldable handset.

The Galaxy S line never joined the notch trend of 2018, and this year Samsung is going with a new scheme to maximize display space while still having a front camera: the hole punch display. Samsung is pushing the display boundaries all the way out to the edges of the phone, and a camera is located under the display panel. Samsung’s display technology has reached the point where it can just punch out the pixels over top of the camera lens, so you get a display with a round camera hole in it and pixels all around the camera lens.

The slimmer bezels means screen sizes are getting even bigger. The S10 has a 6.1-inch 3040×1440 OLED display—up from 5.8-inches in the S9—and the S10 Plus is getting a 6.4-inch 3040×1440 OLED panel—up from 6.2-inches on the S9 Plus, and now the same size as the Galaxy Note 9. Both phones are a few millimeters wider than last year, so they will feel a bit bigger when you’re holding them.
